Controlling priority of wagering game lighting content

A gaming system comprising:

• at least one electronic processing unit;
• one or more output devices;
• a network communication interface;
• and
• at least one memory storage device configured to store instructions that, when executed by the at least one electronic processing unit, cause the gaming system to perform operations to
• analyze electronic information received via the network communication interface, wherein the electronic information is associated with a first gaming effect and a second gaming effect provided for concurrent presentation via a first output device of the one or more output devices,
• determine, based on analysis of the electronic information, that the first gaming effect has a higher priority than the second gaming effect for presentation via the first output device,
• present the first gaming effect via the first output device before presentation of the second gaming effect based on the higher priority,
• prevent, without user input, presentation of a first portion of the second gaming effect via the first output device while the first gaming effect is being presented via the first output device,
• electronically determine that a second portion of the second gaming effect is available for presentation via the first output device after an ending point for the first gaming effect, and
• present the second portion of the second gaming effect via the first output device after the ending point for the first gaming effect.

A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a set of one or more electronic processing units of a gaming system cause the gaming system to perform operations comprising:

• analyzing electronic information received via a network communication interface of the gaming system, wherein the electronic information is associated with a first lighting effect and a second lighting effect provided for concurrent presentation via an electronic display device associated with the gaming system;
• determining, based on analysis of the electronic information, that the first lighting effect has a higher priority than the second lighting effect for presentation via the electronic display device;
• in response to the determining that the first lighting effect has the higher priority, causing presentation of the first lighting effect via the electronic display device and, concurrently, causing the second lighting effect to be transparent via the electronic display device, wherein said causing the second lighting effect to be transparent prevents a first portion of the second lighting effect from being presented via the electronic display device while the first lighting effect is presented;
• electronically determining that a second portion of the second lighting effect is available for presentation via the electronic display device after an ending point for the first lighting effect;
• causing the second lighting effect to be non-transparent at substantially the same time that the first lighting effect reaches the ending point;
• and
• presenting the second portion of the second lighting effect via the electronic display device.
